If only Netflix would spend more time on steaming content and less on integration. But, it is a strategy that could work. They can't convince the studios to let them stream pertinent content until they are buried like ticks in the devices. Genius.

Pretty lame now aren't you? And why do you keep reading AppleInsider if you hate it so much?

"WebOS still has a better interface than Android and is arguably easier to use than the iPhone. Gestures plus multitasking make navigating a breeze. This ad does a good job of showing the fluidity of WebOS."

Isn't the Android interface constantly evolving? Which Android interface? 1.5, 1.6, 2.0? I don't use Android so I don't know. Also, what about the iPhone is so hard to use? Again, I don't use one so I don't know. I've played with one and I didn't think anything was particularly hard about it.

There just isn't a killer app or feature shown in this ad and that will get this phone killed when it comes to sales in the smart phone market. I think the ad is blah, despite how good or not good the Pixi actually is.

I hope everyone will give the actress a pass for the creepy commercials. Blame the director and the photographer/cinematographer and writers. She's actually cute and probably doesn't stalk around freaking people out in real life. Not her fault at all. http://www.imdb.com/media/rm3293354752/nm0394045

It's better than the last campaign, but not really very ground breaking or attention drawing. Seems average and not very noteworthy. The real problem is the phone itself, it is just eclipsed nowadays by all the other phones which are more exciting. This ad promotes touch screen, portrait and landscape mode, phone capabilities when up next to your ear, custom case designs, two finger zoom, maps, viewing photos, something about fun, and the Sprint network. Is that enough to break out in the saturated market of smart phones?

Dude, don't come into a forum and label people like that. Not cool.

Yeah, where are the SyFy shows? Stargate Galactica and Sanctuary? Although they are worth not mentioning. Thanks Sifee for ruining Friday nights.

I don't see what the problem is here. HD is the here and now, why are they avoiding this? I'll admit, I've seen Wii games on a huge screen and it looks fine, but why wouldn't they want to add HD to the selling points? Does it add that much to the cost of a console?

I want to be you.

I gave VMware Fusion 3.0 a try for the first time today on a 27" iMac running Snow Leopard. Without any problems VMware Fusion 3.0 installed Ubuntu 9.04 from a CD with the Ubuntu ISO on it using the VMware's Easy Install feature. The VMware Tools installed automatically (don't follow the forum instructions you won't need them). Everything is running great, EXCEPT for the download speed while running the Ubuntu Synaptic Package Manager and Update Manager in the VM. Download speeds are SLOW. I've switched between NAT and Bridged networking in the VM setup, no difference. Using Firefox seems fine but the slow download speed while trying to download packages make it unusable.

Does anyone know what is going on with the download speed when trying to download packages? Switching to 2 CPU's instead of 1 also doesn't help the IO. -thanks
